When identifying conditions that may affect fertility, a clear and detailed view of the reproductive organs is far more reliable than routine examinations alone!

In obstetrics and gynaecology, diagnostic laparoscopy has become an essential procedure for assessing fertility challenges and guiding the right care.

With expert guidance, our OB/GYN trainees have successfully completed two diagnostic laparoscopies today, demonstrating remarkable progress.

This minimally invasive technique lets specialists see the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries through tiny incisions.

The real-time insight it provides supports precise clinical decisions and helps women get the answers and treatment they need.

Strong health systems are built by dedicated professionals who show up every single day with the courage to care, support, and change lives.

As part of our 'Providing Rehabilitation Services for Children with Disabilities in Ghana' project, we have partnered with the Ghana Health Service for a two-day training workshop for prosthetic and orthotic technicians.

This workshop is to create space for continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and confidence-building in new and emerging rehabilitation techniques.

At KOFIH, we believe that when health professionals are equipped with the right skills and resources, they can deliver the every child, family, and community deserves.

Ever wondered why doctors sometimes remove the gallbladder?

The gallbladder may be small, but it plays an important role. It sits just beneath the liver and stores bile, a fluid that helps the body digest fat.

Sometimes, it develops gallstones; small, hard stones that form when bile becomes too thick. When this happens, the gallbladder can swell, block the flow of bile, and cause severe pain.

To treat this, doctors perform a cholecystectomy, a surgery that removes the gallbladder.

Over the past two days, the second cohort of our Strengthening Laparoscopic Surgery Capacity Project at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital has successfully performed three laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries. Each operation showed growing skill, teamwork, and confidence in the operating room.
